Navy SEALs Who Captured, Killed Osama Bin Laden Return to United States

By PIERRE THOMAS (@PierreTABC) , MARTHA RADDATZ (@martharaddatz) , JAKE TAPPER (@jaketapper) and JESSICA HOPPER May 4, 2011

The elite Navy SEAL fighters responsible for capturing and killing Osama bin Laden returned to the United States today. Before their return, a trove of information seized by the SEALS arrived at a FBI laboratory.

The SEALs, members of elite Team Six, arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C., sources told ABC News.

The arrival of the military members comes amid news that President Obama will not release photos of bin Laden's corpse. Obama administration officials believe the photos could pose a national security risk and endanger Americans living in the United States and abroad.

A trove of information seized in the 40-minute raid that left bin Laden dead arrived at an FBI laboratory in Quantico, Va., between Monday night and Tuesday, sources told ABC News. At least five computers, 10 hard drives and more than 100 digital media items, including disks, DVDs and thumb drives, traveled more than 7,000 miles to the FBI facility.

In addition to the digital media and paper documents, the Navy SEALs also took guns and a number of other items from the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound. Those guns have been checked for fingerprints, which will be run through a huge intelligence database that culls fingerprints from terrorist safe houses and the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I just knew it the minute I heard this administration say it was the Navy Seal’s. This bunch will out them before it is all said and done. JUST AWFUL!

Anyone else notice this besides me?

Other photos, taken hours later at between 5:21 a.m. and 6:43 a.m. show the outside of the trash-strewn compound and the wreckage of the helicopter the United States abandoned. The tail assembly is unusual, and could indicate some kind of previously unknown stealth capability.


I also thought the tail section looked unusual...

I would just as soon not know about this, either...who the heck let this info out? (rhetorical)

Apparently Obama never played hide-and-seek or spy or army when he was a kid. He has no idea about strategy and laying low or http://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html

Why was ANYTHING said about the situation in the compound, if osama was armed or not, etc? The most plausible explanation to me is that all seems to be in order to foment continued chaos.

“I thought the military said they were to remain anonymous. Does BHO want them targeted?”

Did they announce the names? They would have to come back to the states for their debriefing.

Unless Obama plans on giving each one a medal at ground zero, which would not suprise anyone one bit.

For that matter, they're actually based in Virginia.
